I was quite into RC cars when I was at school but never really had enough money to get into racing properly, had a few cars (Schumacher Bosscat, Tamiya FWD thing, Schumacher Fireblade and I think a maybe a Schumacher Cougar 2000 and a XX4 briefly). If the selection of Schumachers doesn't make it obvious enough, I am over in the UK!
Anyway, I discovered a box full of bits at my Mum's house last year, some bits are familiar but I cannot for the life of me ever remember buying this car, let alone racing it! I can only assume that I bought it from someone that would have raced at Planet Hampshire, but really do not remember anything about it. I do vaguely remember loaning the car to a friend after not using it for a while, when it returned it had a broken chassis brace and was given a good ignoring to. Since then it looks like the servo has gone missing along with half the motor, I suspect my nephews may have been poking about and borrowing things...

I don't think those cells are going to hold a charge too well...

As you can see, new chassis brace needed, motor, battery straps, cells and probably a few other odds and ends. I do remember buying the Schumacher charger, so am really confused about where the car came from... I packed the hobby in a few times and sold up, so to end up with my charger and a set of cells I recognise back but without remember anything else about the car is really bizarre!
So, I've managed to track down a chassis brace for it just because I know they aren't readily available and I at least have it there if I choose to get it up and running again. After reading a manual online it looks like it's missing the mounting posts for the servo, does anyone know if they are available!?
I'm still not sure if I will get it up and running, but I mistakenly went along to a race meet recently and now am hankering for a car to play about with. I might just pick up a Tamiya to mess around with but am considering also grabbing the extra running gear to get this one up and running.
Anyway, I'm off to poke about the forums a bit more, researching and generally lusting after everyone else's cars that look a lot nicer than this one ever will!
